Inter Milan Face Injury Concerns Ahead of Champions League Clash Against Benfica Inter Milan is preparing to travel to Lisbon for their quarter-final first-leg tie against Benfica in the UEFA Champions League. But reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport have suggested that two of the team’s most crucial players, central defender Milan Skriniar and midfielder Hakan Çalhanoglu, are set to miss the match due to injury. Both players have been training separately from the rest of the team as they recover from their respective injuries. As such, it is highly unlikely that they will travel with the team to Lisbon for Tuesday’s match. The absence of Skriniar and Çalhanoglu is a significant blow to Inter Milan as they face a crucial encounter against their Portuguese counterparts. Skriniar has been one of Inter Milan’s most consistent performers this season, while Çalhanoglu’s attacking prowess from midfield will be sorely missed. Meanwhile, the question of who will lead the attack for Inter Milan remains up in the air. Recent reports have suggested that Romelu Lukaku might replace Lautaro Martínez as the team’s main striker. However, La Gazzetta dello Sport has suggested that Martinez will retain his starting position, and the debate will be whether to play Lukaku or Edin Dzeko as his partner. The debate over who will lead Inter Milan’s attack has been a hot topic of discussion in recent weeks, with both Lukaku and Dzeko eager to make their case for a starting position. The team’s coaches will have to weigh the options carefully when making their selection for Tuesday’s match. Inter Milan’s visit to Lisbon promises to be an exciting encounter, as both teams are looking to make their mark in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. However, Inter Milan’s injury concerns will certainly be a source of worry for the team’s management and fans, as they prepare to face a determined Benfica side. The team’s performance in the coming weeks will likely have a substantial impact on their season, as they continue to compete for a top-four finish in Serie A and navigate their way through the knockout rounds of the Champions League.
